Q: Using "mark up" of a photo in my emails
I have been having great fun with "mark up" in El Cap all of a sudden now within a short time frame - MARK UP IS MISSING as a choice to "well...mark up" my photos" with information and arrow etc. Any idea what is going on with this new program of El Caps? Hate that "batch change is 'M.I.A.' long time now. Hope that will come back with Sierra.
MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5), 13" mid 2012

Occasionally you may need to register the launch database again, if the MarkUp Extension is missing from the Share Actions menu in Mail or other applications.
See this support document: If Share options or Markup is missing after upgrading to OS X Yosemite or El Capitan - Apple Support
Follow these steps if the issue occured immediately after upgrading to Yosemite or El Capitan.
- Open the Terminal app, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
- Type this command in Terminal:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -seed
- Press Return and wait for the Terminal prompt—which ends in $—to reappear. It may take a few minutes.
- Quit Terminal.
You should now see the expected Share
and Markup features. If not, go to Apple menu > System Preferences, click Extensions, and make sure that the Markup and sharing features are turned on in the Actions and Share Menu sections.
Note: all parts of the Terminal command need to be pasted as a single line, even if the Editor here should insert line break. The only space characters are before "-kill" and "-seed".
